Denver Nuggets vs Orlando Magic - Game 41

Magic 3-point shooting scares me, we must get on them early, or it's over. Luckily they won't get here until pretty late in the night and had a hard fought game vs the Lakers...

oh dear... here comes a rain of 3 pointers.

four our sake, i hope we play a VERY fast tempo and run them off their legs as Dwight, Hedo, and Rashard basically lodged in 40 minutes against the Lakers.

Must keep good D on Jameer, that dude has been balling so far.

i expect LK to start due to Karl saying he'll start whoever depending on matchups.

I'm already satisfied with Denver's play on the home stand with no Melo. This game would be icing on the cake.

Unless the Magic are tired and the altitude affects them, I can't see us winning... they're so good. They have force inside and outside, they move the ball constantly and their players move without the ball.

Unless Karl plays Balkman and he shuts down their outside shooters by himself, I can't see us win

If we win, that'd shut me up.

Karl should start Balkman on 3 and JR Smith on 2!
My starting 5:
5.Nene /Howard
4.Martin /Hedo
3.Balkman /Lewis
2.JR /Lee
1.Billups /Nelson

Magic fan here:

Lewis is the Magic's starting PF and will defend Martin.

Anyone in Orlando will say that the key matchup will be at PG. When Billups was in Detroit, he owned, with a big O, Nelson. Jameer has played very well lately and might get the third ASW slot at PG. Still, Billups is a massive test for Nelson.

Well, see, I see this as a high performance game for the Nuggets.

Some of the players who have not been as effective will be more effective.

Reason being is they survived the last one and they keep seeing these wins despite the lulls. At some point they have got to be grateful and decide to turn it on max.

Key player: Nene.

I feel a bit more confident about this game compared to ^^^^ what I have just read. JR and LK should have breakout games and put up better numbers then they have been. They started to get back to being productive in the last game, and I don't think Billups will shoot as poorly from behind the arc as he did in the last game. I am not saying we will win, but I expect us to be in it at the end with a chance to win.

I just hope we don't try and get into a three point shoot out with this team. Orlando is a good team, and were gonna need our A game tonight to pull out a W

Magic fan here, just dropping thru to wish you guys luck in tonights game.. You guys def. have a shot, but I think it all depends how well you defend the perimeter with us tonight, if we start raining in three's it'll be tough, however I hope it comes down to a close game at the end (of course where we win

) but def should be fun to watch... Nene and Kmart have been playing well, glad to see them healthy..

Chauncey would be ashamed of you. Nuggets win by 100.

Yes, may your season be a fortunate one, except for this game here.

Love the idea of a challenge though, I just hope our team loves that idea too. See, this is what it's all about.....being challenged and overcoming that challenge..

Idk how we are going to challenge Orlando, but Chauncey needs to have one name in his mind tonight, calling out....."Pass it in to Nene.......Pass it in to Nene"

Might I suggest a little Petro tonight? His career high in FG made is against OR in December 08. He is 11-15 in FG against OR this season.
